General discussions / Re: A new logo for SFML
« on: February 03, 2013, 08:38:44 pm »
Hello everyone, I'm IRC Guy, and I made the sports looking clean blue logo. Semi-professional freelance web designer AKA "Silly" in IRC.
Not a fan of the "Swoosh", or "Cylon Raider" as someone called it, but it seemed to be a recurring theme so I put it in. Was just a 15 minute logo after exploiter showed me this thread, so no big deal. The Swoosh an old and over established logo trend that only a handful of brands on Earth can (or should) get away with. I would have personally preferred to keep it out, and for my next version I will do so.
The main thing that comes to mind when I look at the logo we have now is "Why is it so complicated?"
For a library that claims to be simple and fast, we sure aren't conveying that message very clearly. For the release of SFML 2.0, I feel we should move to something cleaner and more aesthetic to reflect the new features of the update. (Would be neat-o to get some more detailed info from Laurent about what he'd like to see if possible.)
Anywho, I promised I'd make a better one than I did before, and I suppose now I'll have to deliver. See you fellows soon.
